For many years, theย College of Computer Studiesย atย Northern Bukidnon State College (NBSC)ย had been the cornerstone of ICT education, producing graduates who were technically skilled and academically prepared to enter the growing field of technology.
However, with the arrival ofย President CHRISTIE JEAN VILLANUEVA-GANIERA, EdD., CESEย ย and her forward-looking leadership, a new vision began to unfold โ one that recognized the rapidly changing demands of the digital world. It was no longer enough to focus solely on traditional computer-related disciplines. There was a need toย expand, modernize, and redefine the identityย of the institutionโs technology program.
This vision led to a bold move: the transformation of the College of Computer Studies into theย Institute for Computer Studies (ICS).
The change was more than just a name. It marked aย reinvigoration of purposeย โ to provide a moreย integrated, innovative, andย industry-responsive ICT education. The Institute is now focused not only on technical excellence but also onย developing students whoย can communicate, lead, and adaptย in an increasingly complex and connected world.
